| - Quite the hidden gem!
This is a funky cool and really tasty restaurant. We visited on a weeknight, so the restaurant was only ~30% full and we were seated immediately. The atmosphere was quite cozy. It's a converted Tremont house, nice dim lighting, Cleveland skyline views, but artsy touches here and there. The waiter quickly came over, ran through the menu and explained the specials and helped us decide what to eat. We started with appetizers of calamari and mussels. The calamari were 5/5, best I've ever had, perfectly breaded and fried in a way that made them taste like well seasoned seafood and not defrosted rubber. Highly recommended! The mussels were good too, but not as good as the calamari. For entrees, we ordered the lamb, pork chop, and ribs. Mmmmmm, so good!!! The lamb was subtly seasoned, but tenderly cooked and we enjoyed it oh so much! Pork chops and ribs were also delicious, and I'd have them again, but they werent out of this world yummy like the lamb. We ended with a shared apple crumble dessert (truthfully, the desserts options werent that appealing). The apple crumble wasn't horrible, but dessert is definitely not their forte. Thant being said, we really enjoyed our experience! Great food, very attentive staff, nice cozy, yet funky, atmosphere, we'd return in a heartbeat!
